Speak Sabbath O’er My Soul

$5.00

With echoes of Sibelius’ “Be Still My Soul,” “Speak Sabbath O’er My Soul” positions Sabbath as something life-giving that God does for us rather than a teeth-gritting discipline we do for God.

Piano accompaniment with SATB voice parts

1. Speak Sabbath o’er my soul,
a sacred interlude—
my spirit fallow lie
in quiet solitude.
Speak Sabbath o’er my soul.

2. O heart, your fear unbind,
O hand, your plow release.
The Lord doth labor now,
the yield doth God increase.
Speak Sabbath o’er my soul.

3. In your good time, I know
I’ll sow in furrowed rows.
Today, I rest in faith.
Speak Sabbath o’er my soul.

Speak Sabbath o’er my soul.
Speak Sabbath o’er my soul.
